New York, October 9.-To-day
the Thistle will be stripped of her
racing canvas and preparations will
be pushed to substitute for her pre-
sent rig the jury rig under which
she came over here. When that
work is done she will start back
unless in the meantime a purchaser
should appear for her, which is not
probable. 1t is believed that she
can be readily sold in England, be-
cause there she is still cock of the
walk.
New York, Oct. 9.-The "He-
raid" says: Michael Davitt, after one
week in the West and North
west, returned to town last evening
and is at present at the Gilsey House
where he will remain until he sails
on the Celtic next Wednesday, for
Ireland. He said: ''My visit this
time has been in connection with
a private matter, and now that l
have attended to it, l am going
back. My visit has nothing to do
with politics. came here to pro-
mote the wooden interests of Ire
land. l want to keep Irishmen in
Ireland; want to make it an OBJ
ject to them to stay in their own
country, and the large wooden
manufacturing concern which l
helped to organize sent me here to
promote its interests. You have too
many Irishmen here. Would that l
could afford to take a lot back with
me.'
Forest and field fires are still

Alameda counties,
Cardinal Gibbons formally invest

cred pallium at Portland.
The San Diego postofllce is day
behind in the distribution of letters
and three days behind with papers,
and though all the clerks the appro-
priation will hire are worked sixteen

gaining upon them.
Washington, Oct. 9-The Marine
Hospital Bureau has received tele-
gram from Deputy Collector Spen-
Ger at Tampa, Fla, of which the
following: "There have been
twenty-six cases in all and two
deaths. The cause of death of the
two is questionable. The majority
of the sick are convalescing. The
town is depopulated and very little
material is left. Doctors disagree
as to whether the disease is dengue
or yellow fever" DR.. Storer,
Chief of the Quarantine Division,
says if 1t Is dengue these is no cause
for alarm nor necessity for rigid
quarantine. If doubts exist, it is
proper to act on the side of safety.
Dublin, Oct. ga large mass
meeting was held at Lamford TO- day.
During the proceedings the platform
collapsed and the Government re-
porter was injured. T. M. Healy,
M. P, chaffed the reporter on his
first trial of a plank bed. Continu-
ing, Healy said that there would
soon be no landlords left in Ireland.
He would deal with landlords In
securing their rights as he would in
driving rats from his stack. The
landlords were more bothered by
the plan Of campaign than they
were by the killing of baillffs, The
deadliest place to hit them was in
their pockets. He hoped that the
mortgages of Lord Granard would
not leave him a brass farthing to
bless himself with. The Irish were
strong enough to subdue the paltry
Loyalist crew.

thirty seconds. The ascent was
made by means of hot-air balloon.
The parachute Is new pattern, and
is twenty eight feet in diameter. 1t
is taken up in expanded condition,
and the rope by which it is fastened
Is loosensd by q simple pull ON ano-
Their rope attached to the end of'a
lever. The descent was magni6-
cent sight, the parachute looking
like huge inverted rose. Hatch
away struck the ground very light;
[y, and remained standing. He was
warmly congratulated. 1t is thought
that the new parachute obivates the
chief defects of the old style, and
greatly lessons the danger of des-
